Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Allen College, plan to take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year. Use the summer before senior year and the fall of senior year for retakes. Since Allen College does not offer Early Decision or Early Action, your last fall retake should be the one that can report scores before the Regular Decision deadline.
